Not Forgotten

As I look down upon my body dead, I have this fear in me as heavy as lead. Have I done wrong in my life past, or am I happy now, happy at last. I look to the skies the heavens above, I say to myself, remember the love. God gave us creatures some big and some small, he cares for them, and love he does all. What should I fear, nothing I should, I'm one of Gods creatures, I know this is good. I look to the skies once more again, as I say aloud, "Lord I know I have sinned, will you forgive me Lord, and let me in to your sanctuary of love and not of sin." "Is it to late to say what I've said, now that I'm gone, now that I'm dead." "Its never to late", I hear from above, "come into heaven and feel all the love."

A pensive, moving and tender poem, Kenneth. It’s beauty reveals that it’s never too late for a humbled soul to seek forgiveness. Exquisite thoughts and emotions are expressed in your spiritual introspection with your last lovely line bringing Divine comfort. Just beautiful, my friend. Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan P. S. sorry I’ve been away so long :)
